What is Taikoo Sugar?

Question 1: What are Taikoo sugar and big bag sugar? A Japanese sugar will be marketed in China in May, which can be specially used for patients with diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. This sugar has no calories, but its sweetness is three times that of ordinary sucrose, and it can be used for frying, frying, boiling and frying.

Friends who drink coffee all know "Taikooli pure sugar cube". "Taikoo Sugar" has a history of 100 years in Hong Kong. The corporate brand "Taikoo Sugar" is almost synonymous with sugar in Hong Kong, but the brand extended from "Taikoo Sugar" is not limited to sugar, but has begun to move towards other products such as family kitchens.

Sugar Factory Street in North Point was named after Swire Group set up a sugar factory there on 1884.

Yan, deputy general manager of Swire Sugar Co., Ltd., said that the founder of Swire Sugar Co., Ltd., JohnSamuelSwire, put forward the idea of establishing a sugar factory in 1878, and it was completed six years later. In its early days, it produced 700 tons of sugar every week. In the early years, Taikooli Sugar Refinery produced a variety of white sugar: coarse sand and young sand, and the smaller one was "Chetang", which foreigners used to drink in black tea or coffee; "powdered sugar" is used to make cake crust or cake sugar noodles. Swire powdered sugar is very popular among cake makers in North China, because it can store the cake crust for half a month and is better than the original coarse sugar.

At present, Swire's sugar products have grown to more than 70 kinds, and its business also includes packaging sugar and sugar-related products. Swire provides restaurants, food companies and airlines with a series of sugar packages to choose from, and supplies raw materials to food factories.

At present, the main markets of Swire Sugar are local, mainland and other export markets. Local customers mainly include retail, catering and industrial customers, which account for more than 70% of the local market share. From 65438 to 0993, Swire Sugar entered the Chinese mainland market and set up offices in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing respectively. So far, the domestic sales network has expanded to 27 sales points all over the country, and has become the market leader in the Pearl River Delta.

Yan said that Swire Sugar has been established in Hong Kong for more than 65,438 years, and its "Swire Sugar" brand has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the development of the company. Swire Sugar has a long history when establishing corporate brand, and it has always been based on quality. It pays attention to the source of raw materials, so each imported raw material is tested by chemical analysis in advance, and then different production forms are formulated. The environment and temperature of inventory and warehouse are strictly monitored, and the quality of plastic bags and cartons for packaging products is also strictly controlled, which meets the hygiene standards. In order to achieve the effect of high-quality products, Swire Sugar produces all kinds of sugar products in an automated way.

Swire Sugar began to package and produce cube sugar and bagged sugar in 1950s. At that time, the map of Taikooli was used as its trademark. After 1970, it was changed to "Taikooli" in Chinese and English. In 1994, it caters to the market with brand-new Q-mark packaging.

Yan believes that due to the fierce competition in the modern market, enterprises should update their brand image from time to time and diversify their product series to increase the value of products. For example, "Taikoo Sugar" has always been regarded as a brand product, and its positioning in the market is high quality, advanced and professional health. Therefore, the retail price of "Taikoo Sugar" is slightly higher than other brands of sugar products, but it can still reach the position of sales champion in Hong Kong.

In recent years, Swire Sugar has emphasized the advertising that pure sugar is irreplaceable, and at the same time, it has developed many sugar products that people who are concerned about food culture and food industry are happy to use. 1998 introduced health products such as sugar cubes and sugar cube series with sucrose as raw material.

In addition to sugar products, Taikooli brand derived from Taikoo Sugar has also begun to spread to other products in family kitchens, such as China Tea and Taikooli Black Tea jointly launched with Deli Tea Factory in Britain. In the future, we may find more other non-sugar products on the shelves of supermarkets.

Question 2: What is the difference between pure white sugar and powdered sugar in Taikooli? The sugar content of white sugar is relatively high, and its function is different from that of powdered sugar.

Cookies in the sugar factory will scatter and collapse during baking, but powdered sugar will not.

Cookies made of white sugar are better than powdered sugar.

Question 3: Is the sugar in Taikoo Sugar Powder rock sugar or granulated sugar, and what starch does it contain? Sugar and rock sugar have the same chemical composition, and starch is corn starch. Content 10%

Question 4: What are the benefits of Ningmeng and Taikoo Sugar soaking in water to nourish yin?

Question 5: What is the difference between pure white sugar and powdered sugar in Taikooli? There is not much difference between powdered sugar and white sugar in composition, but their physical shapes are slightly different, so I thought the cookies made upstairs might taste a little worse.

It is basically replaced by white sugar. Sugar powder is used when making cookies, but there is not much problem with white sugar. Adding a small amount of salt can increase sweetness. Generally, there are a lot of sugar cubes, which can be reduced. I usually reduce it to 2/3 to 1/2.

The English name of powdered sugar is sugar-coated sugar or candy sugar or powdered sugar or fine sugar.

Sugar powder is white powder, and the sugar particles are very fine. At the same time, there is about 3~ 10% starch filler (generally corn starch) to prevent sugar particles from getting wet and tangled.

Sugar powder can also be directly sieved with a mesh screen and directly sieved in the West Point factory for surface decoration.

Put the sugar into a blender and stir, but it is not crushed sugar powder that is equivalent to getting sugar powder! Real powdered sugar contains chestnut powder!

Refined white sugar is similar to refined young sugar in terms of small particles and easy dissolution. The main difference between them is that the crystal grain of white sugar is small, generally less than 0.3 mm, and it is required to be uniform; In addition, after honey separation, add 1.5 ~ 2.5% (calculated by solid content) of sugar-converted syrup or refined starch syrup, and keep 0.8 ~ 1.6% of water, and transport it in a spiral conveying tank with stirring to mix it evenly; Finally, the moisture and temperature are adjusted to the specified requirements by a sugar dryer, and then bagged and sealed. Because soft sugar contains a certain amount of invert syrup (including fructose), it tastes sweet and can absorb water, so it can keep the soft state and luster of sugar. However, because of the high moisture content of soft white sugar (relative to white sugar), it is not suitable for long-term storage in arid areas and seasons, and soft white sugar is easy to dehydrate and agglomerate, which is not conducive to convenient eating. Once the sugar is dehydrated and caked, it can't be broken mechanically. At that time, caked white sugar can be placed under certain temperature and humidity conditions (for example, in a bowl, in a steamer, heated with hot water steam without an open flame), and it won't take long for white sugar to absorb water and loosen itself. After that, if the sugar is put in a closed jar, it can be kept loose.

Question 6: Does pure coffee taste better with Taikooli pure sugar cube or with what sugar? In fact, it is better to put fine sugar in the pure coffee of a single product, so it is easy to grasp the distribution of quantity. Sugar cubes are put piece by piece. Everyone likes different sweetness, and putting rock sugar is not easy to dissolve and is not suitable. There are three steps to enjoying a good cup of black coffee. First of all, you can taste the original special flavor by taking a sip of coffee, and then adding a proper amount of sugar with personal preference for sweetness will make coffee have a perfect combination of sourness and sweetness, while adding milk to coffee will dilute the sourness of coffee itself and enjoy another sweetness.

Question 7: Why are there so many different packages of Pacific Sugar? The red package is white sugar, and the blue-black (Taigu sweet sugar cube) is yellow sugar (yellow sugar is produced by indigenous methods and has not been refined by chemical methods, so it maintains the original flavor of sugarcane sugar and is a pure natural green food, but the price is also more expensive than white sugar. ), the black package is a sugar bag (also white sugar).

Question 8: Which is better, Pacific sugar or ordinary rock sugar? Personally, I think Taikoo Sugar tastes good. I brought it specially when I went to Hong Kong last time. Taikoo brown sugar is also very good.

Question 9: What's the difference between Taikooli superior cube and Taikooli pure cube? The red package is white sugar, and the blue-black intersection color (sweet cube sugar in Taikooli) is yellow sugar (yellow sugar is produced by indigenous methods and has not been refined by chemical methods, so it maintains the original flavor of sugarcane sugar and is a pure natural green food, but the price is also more expensive than white sugar. ), the black package is a sugar bag (also white sugar).

Question 10: Can Swire Sugar be sold without a merchant's ingredient list? Guo, a senior sugar teacher at the National Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said that the quality of products can be identified by the appearance, aroma, taste and touch of sugar. A good sugar product has the following characteristics:

1, taste: white sugar, white sugar is soluble in water, with floc but no precipitation, and suspended matter. Taste its sweet solution without any peculiar smell.

2, touch: there will be no sugar particles on the hand, which is loose, indicating that the moisture content is low, not easy to deteriorate, and easy to store when touched.

3, look: white sugar looks dry and loose, white and shiny, and there should be no obvious spots on the flat white paper, which are divided into coarse, large, medium and fine grains, with flashes between grains and clear outline; Sugar is dry and loose, with coarse and uniform particles, clear outline and white color, including monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon, which are generally eaten directly.

4, smell: white sugar, white sugar once had a sweet taste, no strange smell.

Guo also said that the National Quality Supervision and Inspection Center entrusted Taikooli (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Qingnan Sugar Paper Co., Ltd. to circulate "good grain" sugar in "Pacific sugar industry" and commodity quality inspection. After inspection, it is confirmed that the sugar trade between "Taikoo Sugar" and "Good Grain" is a qualified product.
